The Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is made up of a group of
volunteers who give freely of their time and skills. Their areas of
expertise are
varied, including applied physics, art, music, education, law,
dentistry, medicine and office management. This wide-ranging expertise contributes significantly
to the effectiveness of the committee.
The full committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 8pm at
St John's Church, Hallowell Road with sub-committees meeting
as necessary. To find out more about the range of local issues we cover
please go to our sub-committees page.
Committee members:
Tony Goom — President
I have lived in Northwood since 1933. My career was in the
Ready To Wear Industry where I held a position of General
Manager and Director of the UK subsidiary of a leading
continental multinational company.
I have served on the Executive committee of the NRA since the
early 1970s and was elected vice president at the 2004 AGM, and
president at the 2006 AGM. My major responsibility was as Chief
Road Steward where I was instrumental in targeting new areas of
Northwood to increase our membership. I have taken a keen
interest in the preservation of the Green Belt land and was
involved with the NRA in assisting Riverside Sporting Club to
purchase the Park Farm Estate, one of the most valuable local
areas of Green Belt. |

Leonard Hall — Vice President
Has been on the NRA Committee for many years covering a
number of jobs from editing the Newsletter to stepping in as
Chairman when it seemed that no-one else would take up the role.
Has worked hard to support the work of the medical/hospital
scene, especially struggling over many years to maintain Mount
Vernon Hospital. Though one of our older members, Leonard
remains an active Vice President. |
Colin Harris — Chairman
Born in 1938 in North London I attended grammar school and
later Durham University, then worked as a General Dental
Practitioner (NHS) from 1963-1996 and thereafter as a clinical
researcher at Kings College Hospital until 2004. I have been a
resident of Northwood since 1969 and am married with three grown
up children. My local interests include Ruislip / Northwood

Miles Gillman — Vice Chairman
Having lived in Northwood all my life, and now with my
own family, I am keen that the area's unique character is not eroded
away. |
David Wilson - Treasurer
Born a Yorkshireman in 1946 I attended grammar school and
subsequently qualified as a chartered accountant. We, my wife
and 3 children, moved to Northwood in 1989 after a number of
years in the Middle East. I now work in the City in the
insurance industry. I volunteered to act as Treasurer in
December 2007 and have enjoyed meeting the hard working and
dedicated committee and road stewards of the NRA. I firmly
believe that it is only by our representational influence that
we can preserve the rare qualities of our home town.

Sue Boultbee — Chief Road Steward
Married, with 5 children, have lived in Northwood for nearly
20 years. I feel strongly that we must try and keep Northwood a
safe, clean and friendly place to live, and that the NRA can
help to achieve this by taking positive action where necessary.
As Chief Road Steward it is my role to ensure that we have a
full complement of Road Stewards to distribute our Newsletter to
as many residents as possible. |
